Secrets of Northern Samar

I can’t believe that this “undiscovered” province would offer the most unique adventures ever. This exploration happened last February 2011 and I still can’t forget the details of the trip. I’ve been wanting to share this to you guys and finally I can now write about my discoveries of this one stunning province.

Northern Samar would easily be on my Top 10 provinces to visit. It has the unspoiled white beaches, lush mountains, enormous caves, unnoticed waterfalls, stunning rock formations, surf breaks, amazing people, gastronomic food and rich heritage. It’s off-the-beaten and I love it! Out-of-the-usual-tourist-trail which makes it exciting for backpackers like me- a new exploration is about to be made known!

I hope that these posts would be a guide to intrepid travelers out there. Share it to others if you must and don’t forget to ask questions for clarifications.

Notes:

This is one of those no-plans-whatsoever trips I made. I have a ticket to Catarman and I just said to myself, go and let’s see what’s in it for me… As always, I visited the Tourism office at the Capitol (thanks to Ms. Goldie Miranda for the guidance and the map).

I’m so excited with this series of yours… I’ve bought ticket to Catarman with CebuPac’s seat sale last December and I’m dying to see the Biri rock formations… I’m going there on the 16th… You’ll be my reference again for the must see sites… thanks in advance James! 🙂

Thank you, Sir James. I am with you on this. Northern Samar’s prolly one of the underrated provinces in the Philippines. There’s more to see in our province especially in the Pacific towns of Mapanas, Palapag, Gamay, and Lapinig. 🙂
